"Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it."
"I think that movies are really fake; they should be fake. I don't think my way is any better than anybody else's way, but I know they're not real. I like to lean into the make-believe aspect of movies. That's why they're better than real life."

"The people around whom I've lived most of my life, they're similar. They have same expectations of life that aren't exaggerated, they could be accomplished, they could get what they want. But they could not, too. It's not to be taken for granted. Even getting by, and being satisfied, barely, is hard."
"I think the challenges should be familiar. They should have some relationship to the feelings."
